Stripping away the layers of external validation, my portraits attempt to reveal the raw essence of my being. My pieces capture the vulnerability and strength required to reclaim one’s identity and self-worth. Through the raw portrayal of my form, I confront the scars left by emotional wounds and celebrate the resilience that emerges from such deep personal growth with exaggerated color. My portraits stand as a testament to the power of self-love and the beauty of rising above the shadows of past trauma and the unrealistic ideals of modern society.
